1. History and Organization of the Conference

The Executive Committee during its meeting at the time of the Moscow Conference voted for Japan as the site for the next International Conference. At the same time the Conference Advisory Committee for the Ninth Conference was appointed. The Conference Advisory Committee consisted of six members:    President

of the International Society (Professor J. Kerisel; Chairman), Vice-President for Asia (Dr. Z-C Moh), Secretary General of the Organizing Committee for the Moscow Conference (Dr. N.S. Chetyrkin), Secretary General of the International Society (Professor J.K.T.L. Nash) and two representatives from Japan.

The Japanese National Committee appointed the Preparatory Committee for the Ninth International Conference in August 1973, under the chairmanship of Professor M. Fukuoka. This Committee worked out an outline of the Conference and chose Tokyo as the location of the Conference. Results of this Committee’s work were explained at the first meeting of the Conference Advisory Committee in Stockholm in June 1974. At this meeting, themes of the Main and Specialty Sessions and also names of key role persons such as General Reporters and Chairmen were almost decided.

The Organizing Committee for the Tokyo Conference was appointed by the Japanese National Committee in November 1974, under the chairmanship of Mr. G. Togashi and Professor M. Fukuoka as the Secretary General. The Organizing Committee set up the Task Committee for detailed planning for the Conference with Professor M. Fukuoka as the Chairman. The Task Committee carried out variety of works with a number of sub-committees under the guidance of the "Report of Conference Procedures Committee", which was published in February 1971 by the Conference Procedures Committee of the International Society.

The second meeting of the Conference Advisory Committee was held in Istanbul in April 1975. At this meeting detailed programs of the Conference were discussed based on the draft of Bulletin No. 1. The Executive Committee of the International Society also met in Istanbul at the same time. At this meeting, a motion which might cancel the Tokyo Conference was adopted. This was due to the fact that the 1. Historique et Organ isati on du Congr&s
